Dr. Kjell Andrew Youngren, MD

Great service

He is horrible, while examining me he did not care about my level of comfort, touched my genitals when I was consulting about my kidney to compare to the kidney pain???? Very passive aggressive. When I told him he was hurting me, he applied even more pressure and looked at me creepily and said “oh yeah I bet it does hurt” This guy has problems please do not go see him.

A phenomenon where a physician dismisses the patients symptoms for something lesser and not offering appropriate treatment causing further damage to an already suffering patient. Stay away and heed the below reviews. Rude staff will be the least of your problems.

I have seen Dr. Youngren for a number of years to monitor an aging prostate. Of the half dozen specialists I have used, he is by far the most competent. I recently had a recurring UTI which he suspected may be related to a bladder stone. Upon cystoscopy, he located a jackstone and successfully broke it up with a laser and removed it during an outpatient surgical procedure. Minor 1 day discomfort, no pain, and no bleeding after the procedure. He has always been a very professional and thorough specialist with an excellent, caring 'bedside manner.' Frank and honest answers when questioned. If you want 'sugar coated', less honest answers, go elsewhere. He gives patients the time they need which means at times, his schedule may be delayed. I have had an occasion or two where my case needed 'extra time,' and I greatly appreciated being afforded the professional courtesy and attention I received. When I've asked medical/technical questions, Dr. Youngren has always discussed answers in both a medical and vernacular manner to fully satisfy my curiosity. His staff are highly competent, professional, and personable. The office is well organized, and patient communication is the best of all physicians I consult, better than the checklist driven corporate medical groups. Dr. Youngren views my entire health 'picture,' as a whole, not just urology issues. He is a specialist you can trust.

Dr. Youngren was fine but is office/time management is in shambles. I understand that emergencies come up but the office staff didn't care about my time and treated me very rudely. I had an appointment for 6:30 and wasn't seen for 2 hours. I gave her my insurance card and it says right on it I have a copay. I just assumed that after they let me leave without paying the copay was because they were being considerate to my wasted time waiting to see the doctor obviously not. Dr. Youngren saw me for 15 minutes and charged my insurance $130 and then his office staff sent me a bill for $10 at least 4 separate times. They tried to tell me that the bill is out of their hands which is a lie. I called the office and tried to appeal to their business sense but they were to short sighted and would rather $10 than satisfy a disgruntled customer. I would recommend anyone else to go to Premier Urology Group, they have offices in Garwood, Cranford, Edison, Kearny and elsewhere. I'm very disappointed in this company and think they have a lot to learn in customer service.

I suffered from testicular pain and atrophy and went to consult Youngren for help. He dismissed my concerns and doubted what I had to say about my symptoms. While conducting a physical, he had little consideration for my discomfort and yanked on my testicles. I was in pain, but trusted him at the time as a doctor that knew what he was doing. He saw my reaction and said "that doesn't actually hurt, does it?". It hurt. He dismissed my condition as paranoia. Would not recommend.

I have been going to Dr. Youngren for years. He's great. Never feel rushed like so many other offices. Recommend him highly

Dr. Youngren is an excellent physician who has spent a lot of time with me during appointments. I’ve never felt rushed. He is willing to answer questions and explains his answers well. Appointments are always on time with little or no wait. I would recommend him without reservation

Dr. Youngern is very knowledgeable and great bedside. He didn't just try to diagnose the problem with just questions and hasty exam. He made the process, that could have been way more uncomfortable, bearable. I had been to several doctors now for this issue and on the first visit, he was able to diagnose the issue and was able to clearly articulate the course of treatment and answer all my questions about this issue in a way that made sense.

I think if you donâ??t go see Dr. Youngren, even if just as a second opinion to another Urologist, youâ??re really missing out on a whole different level of healthcare. Ive had problems and chronic pain for so long that had only been getting worse and worse until I saw him. Now after only 4 visits my problems and pain are totally gone; other specialists (and Urologists) kept giving me medications on top of medications which never really took care of the problems. I would describe Dr. Youngren as an â??old fashionâ?? type of physician with a modern twist. His extensive knowledge of the pelvic floor and medicine/pharmacology was evident upon meeting him and he definitely seems to be on top of his research. As a student studying healthcare, I consider myself a difficult person to deal with when it comes to doctors and such (with good reason in my opinion) â?? Dr. Youngren spent over an hour and a half listening to me going back and fourth discussing treatment options, etc. He examined me from head-to-toe and showed me his own marked reference materials to give me a better idea of what was going on. I honestly couldnâ??t believe how I felt about it all when I left. Within the next 2 days, I got a personal voicemail from him regarding my results and the next step. On top of everything, his staff was beyond nice, helpful, and down to earth (and professional, of course). I called up for a note regarding my visit a day after his voicemail and the staff got me a note within the next few hours. After that they followed up and called to confirm my receipt of it. I still cant really put into words how beyond helpful and legitimate he and his practice was/are.

Great doctor, I felt like he really cared, He spent more time with me answering my questions then the last 5 doctors I have seen put together. I had an ongoing UTI problem and Dr. after Dr. gave me abx and sent me on my way. Dr Youngren explained the cause and prescribed a simple cream that actually fixed the problem.

He performed his masterful 10 minute vasectomy. It ruined my life. It took 5 years to control the pain. He said nothing would change. My whole life changed. He said he had it done himself. It should be against the law, don't sign the paper.

I would like to express my sincere disappointment and I agreeing with other negative reviews writing by the different patients who met Dr. Youngren. I just personally had terrible, Worst experience with this Doctor! He and his staff are terrible. ( He has a "therapist" who really not only looks like a woman of immoral behavior, but acts like one). Where in the world he found her? Dr. Youngren was praising her non-stop and kept telling that he is nobody without her?????... What a sick relationship! When he was examining me he was making loud unappropriated remarks, stuck out his tongue and joke about me to her, as he was looking for her approval. What is a crazy behavior? I strongly will not recommend anyone to go to 'The urology Group of NJ' and as well as will not Highly Recommend you to see Dr. Kjell Youngren, because you will later regret. He is not nice, could be rude and impatient. Also, he treats differently Medicare patients, with a very little respect. He said that he is doing a great favor for them by spending his priceless time for them! The entire atmosphere, his incompetence and stress were a real disappointment for me. It has been my Nightmare-No Less! So, please be warned! Sincerely I wish never make this appointment and researched more other options before making my final decision.

excellent surgeon zero scarring all around profesional recommend highly

Just Had the Worst experience with 'The urology Group of NJ'. Highly Recommend that you DO NOT see Dr. Kjell Youngren for the Sheer Incompetence he showed right from the Get-go. Unfortunately, I just picked him out of off the Insurance Network Doctors. It has been a Nightmare-No Less! So, please be warned! I Sincerely Wish i had researched more before we used him!

HE IS ONE OF THE NICEST DOCTORS AROUND AND HE CARES ABOUT HIS PTS. he should be voted number 1

Great guy easy to talk to, down to earth, and cares!

Caring, did not feel rushed, spent all the time needed to answer my questions.
